The shooting and robbery of about $400 occurred March 10, 2012 at the Best Wings restaurant on Meridian Street, which is owned by Kendarius Watson's father. The teen was only employee working at the time of the shooting.

Watson, who was 16 at the time, testified Monday that he would "never forget that face" in describing Gray, 24. Watson he cooked and served Gray a chicken sandwich and then after Gray pulled a gun, he handed over the cash from the register. Gray then shot him three times, the teen testified.

Both sides rested today in the trial that began Monday afternoon. Gray's attorney Larry Marsili stressed in his cross-examination of police witnesses and during closing arguments that the only evidence linking Gray to the shooting is Watson's testimony. No physical evidence ties him to the crime, Marsili said.

A May 2012 police interview with Gray was also played for the jury. The jurors watched Gray repeatedly deny knowing anything about a robbery.

Madison County Assistant District Attorney Bill Starnes pointed out to jurors that Gray told police in the interview that he lived at Edgemont Circle and then backed off that information after being informed that the Wings restaurant on Meridian Street was robbed.

Gray told police he hadn't been to the home since January. The restaurant is about one-third of a mile from the home of Gray's sister, where he said he sometimes stayed.

Marsili noted that while Watson said he was 100 percent certain about his identification of Gray, there were inconsistencies in the descriptions taken by police of the defendant's hair, hair covering, clothing and the gun.

Starnes pointed to testimony that a police dog following a scent from the robbery scene stopped in the vicinity of the Edgemont address. Defense attorney Marsili said whatever trail the dog was following stopped halfway between the house and the restaurant. Marsili said police did not consider how many other people live in that area or follow up in the neighborhood about possible suspects.

Watson was shot three times during the robbery and no one was arrested in the immediate aftermath. Watson testified that two months later, driving with a friend home from school, he saw the man who shot him walking down Sparkman Drive. Police were called and Gray was interviewed then arrested.

Marsili told jurors that after the stress of a shooting, the burden of identifying the shooter shouldn't fall only on Watson and he blamed poor police work for a lack of evidence in the case.

But Starnes argued that Watson testified that he spent about 15 minutes with Gray, while his sandwich cooked, before the shooting. In responding to suggestions that perhaps the ID was wrong, Starnes noted that two months later, in a location far from the crime scene, Watson identified Gray. And Gray happened to live in the same area where the dog followed the trail following the robbery.

The jury is set to resume deliberations at 9 a.m.

Madison County Circuit Judge Donna Pate is presiding over the case. Pate denied a defense request to recess the case until Friday to allow an expert on the unreliability of eyewitness testimony to testify. The trial date had been set for some time and the expert is currently testifying in another case.

Gray's trial had been set for August but a mistrial was declared before a jury was sworn in after it was learned that Gray's father had given a potential juror a ride home.
